  1.  Finalization of letter for external experts

  *   See letter that was circulated to the mailing list which aimed to incorporate the edits and suggestions shared on the previous call and on the mailing list.
  *   Conflict of interest declaration: different approaches in non-American countries. May be worth explaining in further detail what it means in practice.
  *   Request respondents to provide responses prior to Puerto Rico meeting, recognising that this might be tight. See whether any of the organizations linked to ICANN might be attending and could participate in the ICANN61 session.
  *   CCWG should indicate where personal contacts exist as that could facilitate getting a response and allow for appropriate follow up.

Action item #1: CCWG - any further input on the questions or letter to experts needs to be provided by the end of this week.
Action item #2: CCWG to review organizations and identify where people have direct contacts which may facilitate getting a response.
Action item #3: Staff to send out letter to external experts as soon as possible (target early next week).


  1.  Review of response of Board Liaisons

  *   See response received from Board liaisons: https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/botterman-burr-to-mann-chiao-31jan18-en.pdf
  *   Letter should be seen as a constructive contribution to the CCWG's deliberations.
  *   Important that proceeds are spent in line with ICANN's mission and values.
  *   Some concerns regarding the preamble and the concept of 'open and interoperable internet' - may be worth reviewing again and ensuring that there is no confusion.
  *   Important that examples do not raise any false expectations - make clear that these are not agreed projects.
  *   May need to be clearer what examples would not be eligible.
  *   Staff developed template that may assist the CCWG review the letter and determine what changes if any need to be made to current CCWG documents (preamble & examples).
  *   Consider encouraging the Board liaisons to provide concrete suggestions for changes to either preamble and/or examples.
  *   Further consider board input during next meeting. Possibly task a small drafting team to use the template as a basis for further review / discussion.

Action item #4: CCWG to review Board letter and start considering possible responses / ways to address input received.
5. Confirm next steps & date for next meeting (Thursday 22 February at 14.00 UTC)
